it seems, is off hunting. Or, if home, they're cleaning their guns for more action. That's why you're seeing so many gals out with their fellow hunting widows enjoying dinners, movies or charity benefits like last week's Junior League Christmas Affair preview party. And that's where we heard our favorite story of the hunting season to date. From Chuck Nash with wife Elizabeth of San Marcos.

Chuck, Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission chairman and son of Charles and Dorothy Nash of Austin, is back from hunting desert sheep in Nevada. And he got 25. Don't ask what the limit is. Because this was a different hunt. Seems Chuck and fellow hunters shot the sheep with a type of tranquilizer gun.

Then they hobbled the critters, dragged them to trucks, loaded them on, transported them to an airplane and flew them to West Texas. There they were set free in the Baylor and Van Horn mountains! And Chuck will tell you he preferred this kind of hunt to the bang-bang-it's-dead-hang-its-head -on-your-wall variety.
